I saw this plaque in a store in St. Augustine a few weeks ago. It reminded me how careful I had to be with my time and energy. To not allow myself to be ‘drawn out’ from my place of peace. To choose my battles wisely. In light of eternity, somethings are not worth theContinue reading “In light Of…”

Unwind
Some days I just need to breathe. Embrace what is. Lay my weapons down – Let someone else fight on my behalf. Some days I choose surrender. I let go and let God.
I Look To You – Again
“The God who made the world and everything in it…doesn’t live in custom-made shrines or need the human race to run errands for him, as if He couldn’t take care of himself. Starting from scratch, He made the entire human race and made the earth hospitable, with plenty of time and space for living soContinue reading “I Look To You – Again”
Love You Lots
Sleep. I don’t – can’t get enough of you. I dream of you constantly. Especially when I’m heading home. When we collide it’s a thing of beauty. You take me to places that nothing or no one else can.

When I count my blessings, they are at the forefront of my mind. My days would not be the same withoutContinue reading “Laugh a Little”
Mary, Did You Know?
During this period of Lent, people of faith often take moments to reflect. This week I tried to imagine the head space that Mary [ the mother of Jesus] was in back then. In the coming days she would stand and watch her son die a painful death. How much did she know? As aContinue reading “Mary, Did You Know?”
I Needed That

As they caught my eyes, I smiled. Words have so much impact on our moments. Has someone ever said something toContinue reading “I Needed That”
The Things I Do
Arguably, one of the most amazing gift we have been given in life is the gift of choice. We can do what ever we choose to do with our time. A wise king once said to the young, ‘Young people, it’s wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want toContinue reading “The Things I Do”
